What happened to the host Paola Rojas?
Paola appeared on an Instagram live not to worry her followers but to send an alert about the illness she is suffering from: “I have been feeling bad for several days,” she said, but clarified that it is not something serious. Her symptoms, headache, sore throat, diarrhea and discomfort in her body, made her think it was Covid, but she was ruled out with a test.
When the discomfort increased, the doctor diagnosed her with pharyngitis, she received treatment and hoped that she would improve soon, but it did not happen. It was her children’s pediatrician who suggested she get a strep test, Thus he found the bacteria responsible for his state of health.
“It is this horrible bacteria, it is not really serious, but without diagnosis, I had not received the treatment, I am just going to start with the antibiotic for strep and I tell you so that you have it on your radar,” Paola added. According to her doctor, there have been many cases recently and it is often confused with covid due to the symptoms.
What is strep infection and how is it spread?
I agree with you Centers for Control and Prevention Of Diseases, most throat conditions are caused by viruses, but type A streptococcus bacteria are also responsible for infections that affect the tonsils.
The most common forms of transmission are: inhalation of respiratory dropletsby bringing your hands to your nose or mouth after touching a surface with these droplets and by using the same utensils as a sick person.
The CDC says it is not serious, but the symptoms can make the infection painful to go through:
- Tonsil inflammation
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Pain when swallowing
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
But in the case of discomfort such as: cough, runny nose, voice changes, the infection points to a virus and not to the streptococcus bacteria.
How is strep infection diagnosed?
The same source points out that there are two ways to know if this is the case, one is Quick test which is made with a cotton swab and the throat culturewhose results are slower, but more accurate.
What is the treatment for the infection?
The CDC highlights that the use of antibiotics aims to relieve symptoms, prevent transmission and complications, which although rare do occur, and shorten the duration of the illness.
